In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Working to get what matters to Montana's done.

With deep roots in Montana, I proudly call this state home. A place where I understand, on a daily

basis, the challenges facing families, workers, and small businesses across House District 23. By

growing up on a working ranch in Cascade County and working alongside my father in his business in

Great Falls at an early age, I saw firsthand the reality of what many Montanans face. From navigating

the burden of insurance and medical bills during times of crisis to witnessing the pressures on local

businesses and working families, these experiences have shaped my perspective and purpose. Rather

than turning away from these challenges, I have learned to confront them with resilience and a focus

on solutions. My work with a national nonprofit and within city government in Great Falls further

demonstrates my commitment to service and my ability to create meaningful change.
